My heart is pounding in my chest
So hard I think my ribs might break
My stomach turns over and over 
And my palms are so damn sweaty
I worry your mom might be blinded by the rays...

Premium Member Rum N Raisin 6 - Dances With Wasps
Those kittens bounded through the flap and started to play
Raisin said the flowers look so pretty today
She went to sniff a daisy but an insect flew out
And so she hollered, “Watch out, Rum, there’s waspies...

The Trap
This is the home of the heartless 
Corporate concrete
Where you become captive 
To the same things you thought set you free
Where solutions to society's problems 
Don't correct anything 
Class is in session please pay attention

Coming On Home
Coming on home,
in a rain storm on the 4th of July,
watching the neon colors of explosions
blowing high up in the dark, purple sky
spraying joy and happiness with designs
of man's love and creation.
Coming on home to...

“holy candle blues”


in the rust red sunset - angel brother bends his blown glass ear over the wall of eternity listening in on my sweet restless rathouse jam

Premium Member Skating For Gold
Acing awesome atomic axel jumps
Baffling backflips and butterfly jumps
Completing camel spins and cross strokes
Dance jumps, dance lifts and death spirals
Eclipsing extensions and edge jumping
Fearless heights for fan spirals and flying spins 
Gracefully gliding across galactic...

Conversations With Time
Three thousand ginger bread cookies 
On a purple path to shade 
Twisted Time Diagonally 
Elusively Disfiguring Reality 
Green was Blue 
Blue was Happy 
Happy was Sneezy 
And the other Six dwarves 
never showed 
They didn't...

Battle Rap With Brenda Chiri

Brenda Chiri don't try me

It's not old and told, 
same gun, bullets roll,
pull it hole 
strolling rhymes,

Words From a Paintbrush
Do mental somersaults and backflips to establish a message
Invisible thoughts of madness rebuilt no blemish the wreckage
And this impression of subconscious stability holds many debts 
So aggressions like monstrous in a degree to pay respects

Premium Member Wonderstruck
I was only but a child
and to me, she was the littlest of bugs
within my tiny hands
I gave her the fragilest of hugs.

In my life I would experience
a similar range of emotions,
like gleaming at Niagara...

Sham the Leprechaun
Sham the leprechaun went to a pub
For some tasty St Patrick's Day grub
Then danced jigs fantastic
Quite enthusiastic 
Did the splits, stuck like it, there's the rub.

The landlord said "Auld Sham's now a crock

Skateboarding
Sidewalks and skate parks;
   Old swimming pools drained.
Kickflips and split lips;
    young ankles sprained.
Aerials and Varials
    and being called a punk.
Tail taps and  grip tape;

One Bad Apple
People doing backflips in a pool
Were told to stop.
They ignored the lifeguard and
They also dissed a cop.

Soon the pool was closed to all
And several were arrested.
“Hire more security!”
Was what most folks suggested.

That pool holds 1500
And...

Premium Member Sailing Adrift
As I sailed in a small ivory sailboat
on crystal blue waters. 

The wind gently blew through my 
mahogany hair.

Next, I saw dolphins doing backflips 
out of the water causing a ripple
effect. 

Then as I sailed...
